contributions to United Way, community charities, United Way's Hurricane Sandy
Recovery Fund and the American Red Cross' Superstorm Sandy Relief Fund.
"The support TD employees continue to show for their communities is truly
inspiring," said Elizabeth K. Warn, President of the TD Charitable Foundation
and Senior Vice President of Community Relations at TD Bank. "United Way makes
a tremendous impact on many of our customers, neighbors and employees, and we
are proud to support the programs and services United Way provides."
To complement the bank's employee giving campaign, an additional $1.5 million
was donated through the TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of
TD Bank, to bring the combined 2012 contribution to more than $4.1 million.
